Exclusive: Oscar nominee and 2x Golden Globe winner James Franco will play Cuban leader Fidel Castro in Miguel Bardem’s Aline of Cuba with Imagen Award winner Mía Maestro set to play Natalia “Naty” Revuelta, the Cuban-born socialite he has a passionate love affair with.
They join previously announced actress Ana Villafañe who is portraying Alina Fernandez aka Castro’s Daughter. The screenplay from Oscar-nominated scribe Jose Rivera (The Motorcycle Diaries) and Pulitzer Prize winner Nilo Cruz, follows the true-life story of Cuban exile turned social advocate, Fernandez, whose birth was the result of the tryst between Revuelta and Castro. Revuelta sacrificed her and her physician husband’s personal belongings and finances to help fund the start of the communist revolution. Fernandez learned that she was Fidel Castro’s daughter at the age of 10 when after years of secret visits to her home, her mother finally revealed that “El Comandante” was her biological father.

I’m tired of hearing how some novels are “impossible to adapt.” Balderdash! Just because some books don’t lend themselves to being translated from page to screen doesn’t mean that the attempt ought not to be made. Just ask James Franco, who’s shown a speed freak’s determination to tackle some of the unlikeliest literary adaptations of the last decade, from William Faulkner to John Steinbeck (“In Dubious Battle”) to Cormac McCarthy (“Child of God”). Frankly, he’s not very good at it, but that doesn’t stop him. Nor should it. Even Franco’s failures are fascinating, like asymmetrical pottery-wheel mishaps that wouldn’t passs for a vase, but wind up looking like modern art.
From the moment of its publication in 2007, Steve Erickson’s postmodern showbiz satire “Zeroville” was widely described as “unfilmable” — which was like waving a red flag in front of Franco. Truth be told,...

After adapting such classic novels as William Faulkner’s “The Sound and the Fury” and Cormac McCarthy’s “Child of God,” James Franco appears to have found his calling with a rather different kind of book: Greg Sestero’s “The Disaster Artist,” which details the making of Tommy Wiseau’s “The Room.” The film is commonly regarded as a masterpiece of so-bad-it’s-good cinema, but Franco’s movie has won praise for his affectionate portrayal of the material — an affection that apparently inspired him to recreate nearly half an hour of it in his movie.

Barns are a-burning, Paul Newman is recommended to Joanne Woodward as ‘a big stud horse’ and Lee Remick oozes sexuality all over Martin Ritt’s CinemaScope screen. William Faulkner may be the literary source, but this tale of ambition in the family of yet another southern Big Daddy is given the faux Tennessee Williams treatment — it’s a grand soap opera with a fistful of great stars having a grand time.

A extensive look at all those movies James Franco directed.
James Franco has done a lot of things, we’ve heard. Following a successful turn on Judd Apatow’s Freaks and Geeks and a well-received starring spot on a TNT biopic on James Dean, he turned immediately to a litany of pursuits: from playwriting and English degrees to painting and directing no less than ten feature-lengths. The latter project interested me. Were they any good? In Franco’s Rolling Stone profile last year, Jonah Weiner ran around a thesaurus of words like “dizzying,” “indefatigable“ and, wait for it, “multihyphenate” to describe his subject but none of those words mean very much. Paul Klee painted over a thousand paintings in the penultimate last year of his life. So could I. So what?
“What did we do to deserve James Franco?,” asked Rex Reed in a slightly different era. Back then, even the The Guardian agreed with Jared Kushner...

“In Dubious Battle” is not the first movie about a labor strike with Robert Duvall as the antagonizing boss man; that honor goes to the 1992 Disney musical starring Christian Bale, “Newsies,” in which Duvall portrayed Joseph Pulitzer. “Newsies” went on to receive five Golden Raspberry Award nominations, but it contained more drama and gusto than this humorless dirge from director-star James Franco.
This smug period drama follows the conventional narrative of an idealistic revolutionary and his fearless leader as they incite a strike among apple pickers in California’s fictional Torgas Valley. Matt Rager adapted the script from John Steinbeck’s 1936 novel, and the film is largely based on events that occurred during the California labor strikes of 1933.

The following is a recap of the first two episodes of FX’s Legion. The first outing introduced us to David Haller (Dan Stevens), a “mutant” living in a mental hospital called Clockworks. Through non-linear storytelling and an exploration of David’s world, we learned that our protagonist has lived his life believing that his telekinetic and telepathic superpowers are a mental illness.
During the pilot, we also get acquainted with some of the major events in his recent life. These include switching bodies with his girlfriend, Syd Barrett (Rachel Keller), and escaping his mental hospital, Clockworks, during which his friend Lenny (Aubrey Plaza) dies in a wall that he may have created; returning home to his sister and talking with Lenny, his recently-deceased friend; getting captured and interrogated by a sinister governmental organization, before escaping with the help of Syd and fellow mutants; and joining up with a team of other superhumans,...

James Franco’s death march through the American literary canon continues with In Dubious Battle, a John Steinbeck adaptation so conventionally dismal that it makes one better appreciate the artsy, dawdling garbage that is the actor turned dilettante’s usual stock in trade. Every Franco personal project—from his unintelligible, low-budget adaptations of William Faulkner (As I Lay Dying, The Sound And The Fury) and Cormac McCarthy (Child Of God) to his novels and assorted experiments in self-fellatio—is born with a “Kick Me” sign on its back, begging critics to punt it in the keister for making artistic ambition look lame. This one even comes with a freebie: It’s got “dubious” right there in the title. But instead of being sloppily miscalculated (the “Franco touch”), this attempt at a Depression-era labor drama in the vein of John Sayles just bores its way through almost two hours of screen...

James Franco is currently working on a few upcoming films that he will star in and direct, including “Zeroville,” based on Steve Erickson’s 2007 book by the same name, and “The Masterpiece” about the making of Tommy Wiseau’s “The Room.” Though busy with many projects, Franco also directed a black-and-white short film entitled “Do It Right” starring fashion model Gigi Hadid. The film promotes a collaboration between Hadid and fashion designer Stuart Weitzman on new footwear “The Gigi Boot,” which is featured prominently in the video. Watch it below.

Wondering how all the DC universe TV spin-offs, crossovers and webseries fit together? We have the answer...
In October 2012, Us network The CW launched the first season of Arrow, after wrapping up no fewer than ten seasons of Superman origin show Smallville a year before. Arrow was a completely new take on the DC Comics character Green Arrow, in a new universe that had nothing to do with Smallville or its version of Oliver Queen/Green Arrow. The series proved quite the hit for The CW, and a second season renewal inevitably followed. In season two, we were introduced to forensic scientist Barry Allen, better known to DC Comics readers as The Flash. Arrow got a third season, The Flash got his own TV show with great success, and the live action shared DC Comics universe on TV was born. And with it the question: how does it all fit together?...

James Franco may or may not be a promising filmmaker, but he’s not afraid of failure. You’ve got to give him that. Twice, the 38-year-old multi-hyphenate has attempted to rope the byzantine narratives of William Faulkner into a cinematic structure—2013’s As I Lay Dying and 2014’s The Sound And The Fury—and both times he came up short. So, he’s doing the only logical thing and moving laterally over to Faulkner’s contemporary in bleak Americana, John Steinbeck, with an adaptation of In Dubious Battle.
The 1936 novel gives a fictionalized account of an apple pickers’ strike in central California three years earlier. Along with his supremely impressive cast, including Robert Duvall, Bryan Cranston, Selena Gomez, Sam Shepard, Ed Harris, and Vincent D’Onofrio, Franco seems to be gunning for an epic. The cinematography, by newcomer Bruce Thierry Cheung, is certainly holding up its ...

When he’s not having fun with Seth Rogen and company, James Franco is spending part of his time adapting classic novels. After directing adaptations of Cormac McCarthy and William Faulkner landmarks, he’s now turned his sights to John Steinbeck with his take on the 1936 novel In Dubious Battle. Ahead of screenings at Venice and Tiff, the first trailer has now arrived for the drama which follows a pair of labour organizers attempting to unionize neglected California fruit pickers.
Featuring the eclectic cast of Nat Wolff, Selena Gomez, Vincent D’Onofrio, Robert Duvall, Ed Harris, Sam Shepard, Josh Hutcherson, John Savage, Ashley Greene, Zach Braff, Bryan Cranston and, of course, Franco in the lead, this looks to be his most polished directorial work thus far.

Barry is struggling with his efforts to get faster, and is trying to figure out a speed formula that will allow him to tap further into the Speed Force and ultimately defeat Zoom, but it turns out there’s only one man who can help him: Harrison Wells. Yes, Harrison, not Harry.
So it was that we had another example of time travel on the show, and again it gave us some great moments, even while the rules around it are still a little shaky.

In "Flash Back" Barry Allen traveled back in time to season 1. Barry, desperate, to get faster in the present, went back in time to the The Flash episode "The Sound and the Fury" and talked to his arch-nemesis Eobard Thawne once again. While it was incredibly exciting to see Tom Cavanagh play his evil version of Dr. Wells, it underlined a problem of season 2 of The Flash. Zoom is an awfully disappointing villain.

"Bring my brother back!" New Films International has debuted a trailer for James Franco's adaptation of William Faulkner's novel The Sound and the Fury, about the Compson Family living in the deep south in Mississippi in the early 20th century. Starring as Benjy Compson (as seen above) is none other than James Franco himself, with quite an ensemble cast to boot: Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, Scott Haze, Tim Blake Nelson, Loretta Devine, Joey King, and Ahna O’Reilly. This doesn't have the best reviews, but Dan Romer's Beasts of the Southern Wild score is a nice addition to the trailer. That's all to take not of. Here's the first official trailer for James Franco's The Sound and The Fury, on YouTube (via SlashFilm): A look at the trials and tribulations of The Compson siblings, living in the deep south during the early part of the 20th century.

This year, the regular and often reliable comedy team of James Franco, Seth Rogen, and Danny McBride will reunite for The Sound and the Fury – but not as you know them.
For those hoping for the spontaneous energy a la Pineapple Express or This is the End, you may exit the trailer with a profound feeling of disappointment – or you may feel that regardless of your expectations. You see, this adaptation of William Faulkner’s seminal novel of the same name isn’t nearly as impressionable as it needs to be, and even from our review it’s clear that the Franco-directed adaptation is one you could easily pass up.
Charting the trials and tribulations faced by the Compsons, a once tight-knit Southern family, The Sound and the Fury is, on paper, an understudy on familial drama and the universal challenges that each of us can relate to in our own unique way.

Also starring Jacob Loeb, Ahna O’Reilly, Tim Blake Nelson, Joey King and Loretta Devine, the film follows the lives and passions of the Compsons, a once proud Southern family caught in a tragic spiral of loss and misfortune. While it’s already been in limited release for a little bit, the first trailer has now dropped, which gives us a glimpse at Franco’s passion project and his second Faulkner adaptation following As I Lay Dying, as well as a heavy dose of the Beasts of the Southern Wild score.

Adapting The Sound and the Fury As a Film Is an Insane Undertaking, So of Course James Franco Did It
Once upon a time, in order to cross a bridge, James Franco promised a bridge troll that he would make a movie every month for the rest of his life. Just kidding. That isn’t true. But it seems like it could be, doesn’t it? The 37-year-old filmmaker’s IMDb page is about as long as the books he also writes, and the number of unreleased projects he’s juggling has reached well into the double digits. Vulture caught up with Franco to talk about his latest — an adaptation of William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury that he wrote, directed, and stars in — as well as playing a character who doesn’t speak and his upcoming gay-porn murder drama.Sound and the Fury is generally thought of as one of the hardest books to adapt into a movie.

But a Walking Shadow: Franco’s Faulkner Redux Merely Serviceable
Continuing to thumb his nose at naysayers, James Franco plunges onward into his own particular directorial abyss with his second William Faulkner adaptation, The Sound and the Fury. Much like its predecessor, 2013’s As I Lay Dying, the actor-filmmaker manages a troubled synopsis of Faulkner’s enigmatic text but still remains unable to strike a visual resonance necessitating his undertaking.
Ambitious and a bit pretentious, Franco’s cinematic hubris may know no bounds, though it’s still refreshing to see him shirk the limiting lasso of mainstream sensibility in his personal crusade to create something meaningful. That said, there are several moments reaching a certain poetic pitch, collapsing a quartet of perspectives into a simplified triptych. Complex characterizations and the narrative resonance of Faulkner aren’t quite intact with this otherwise faithful transplant, but its first and third acts maintain a watchable melodramatic energy.

This is a reprint of our review from the 2014 Venice Film Festival. There is only so much matter in the universe. So at some point, simple physics dictates that James Franco must come to the end of the hitherto unending supply of goodwill that has been extended to him in recent years, unless he generates some more by making something that we can all agree is not just interesting, not just full of potential or ambition to be good, but actually, genuinely good. You know, anything — a book, a painting, a cheese whip commercial, an expressionist dance routine, even a movie — that his long suffering fans can point to and be vindicated by, at which point his detractors will only be able to look at their shoes and shuffle about shamefaced. “The Sound and The Fury” is not that movie.

1.12 Crazy For You
For some, this episode of The Flash may be a little bit slow, or even boring, with a lack of the big action sequences, forward-motion with the central mystery or big-name guest stars previous weeks have boasted. It is, yes, a little bit slower, but I’d argue that it’s these sorts of episodes that make the rest of them much, much better.
First, the hour has very little Iris nonsense, with only a couple of scenes so as to establish her as needing a story on The Flash to keep her job, and then subsequently getting her story when Barry decides take pity on his friend.
There’s also almost nothing from Wells, as even the stinger is focused elsewhere (Grodd!

This review contains spoilers.
3.11 Midnight City
Though it was pretty necessary, last week's attempt to explore the fallout from Oliver's 'death' was a little predictable, stagnant and focused on Felicity above other, equally important, characters. This episode, however, had to show what Team Arrow would do with the gaping chasm left by their leader. As it turns out, they can do quite a lot.
Something had to get Laurel's Canary out of the gym and onto the streets, and this was as good a way as any to have her first take over for Sara as the city's protector. Her Canary is quite rightly a little ineffectual, but thankfully not to the extent that Oliver and Diggle's doubt that she could be of value is given extra validation. She might not have the years of hard training that Sara had,...

A big problem Arrow had in its early days was the constant single-episode introductions and dispatchings of interesting villains, which meant that the show quickly burnt through some of the best of its rogues gallery and led to things like copy-cat Count Vertigos long before one should have been necessary.
We're only eleven episodes into The Flash, but so far it looks to have learnt from those mistakes. We have Captain Cold and Firestorm both hanging around, as well as Reverse Flash as the season-long bad guy and, now, the Pied Piper.

The prodigal son returns in The Flash episode 11, "The Sound and the Fury," as Hartley Rathaway, a.k.a. Pied Piper, makes his debut and threatens to reveal Dr. Wells' secret. No, he doesn't know that Harrison can walk or about that secret room of his. Rather, Hartley warned him of the risks of the particle accelerator. The Flash does stop him, but he may not be locked up for long, as Hartley tells Cisco he knows where Ronnie is.

Since The Flash returned from its winter hiatus, the writers have done a fine job in shifting the spotlight on the supporting cast while also inching one step closer to the showdown between Barry and the Reverse-Flash. In “The Sound and the Fury” we learn more about the past of the mysterious Dr. Harrison Wells when his former protege Hartley Rathaway returns to turn his world upside down and ruin whatever good reputation Wells has left. Hartley begins attacking his family’s business with sonic blasts, and later steals information from S.T.A.R. Labs’ computer that would allow him to identify the frequency of Barry’s molecules so he can kill him. Elsewhere Iris West begins her career as a...

The Pied Piper uncovered some new secrets—just not the ones we were hoping for. Though it seemed like the introduction of Hartley Rathaway (Andy Mientus) during Tuesday’s episode of The Flash would lead to Harrison Wells’ (Tom Cavanagh) big yellow secret coming out, the Pied Piper only outed Wells’ decision to launch the particle accelerator despite knowing there was a chance it could explode. Never fear, it sounds like we’ll get more information on the Reverse Flash soon, according to executive producer Andrew Kreisberg, who answered some burning Flash questions following a screening of "The Sound and the Fury...

In this episode of The Flash, "The Sound and the Fury," the Pied Piper pops onto the scene to wreak destruction on the city and the crew at S.T.A.R. Labs. Meanwhile, Iris gets her own plotline that has nothing to do with the men in her life. Yeah!
Hey, an episode largely devoted to the nefarious Dr. Harrison "Future-Loving" Wells! Wells previously occupied the position of shady mentor for the show, but I can assume that with the revelation that he's probably Reverse Flash (it's still unclear), he's a confirmed threatening presence. (And maybe a Big Bad of the season? Again, it's unclear.) Regardless, this is an attempt to explain some of Wells' strangeness, He's an enigma wrapped in a time-traveling riddle, and in this episode we learn some stuff about him via his relationship with Hartley Rathaway -- everyone's least favorite, former S.T.A.R.

Sonic supervillain Pied Piper aka Hartley Rathaway finally makes his debut Tuesday on CW’s “The Flash” in the form of Andy Mientus, and the actor couldn’t be more psyched to be facing off against Grant Gustin’s titular character. Mientus teased the action-packed episodes, revealed what he thinks makes Pied Piper so unique and the impact of playing a gay comic book villain.
“Piper is not the most battle savvy villain that we’ve encountered so far. He’s probably the worst fighter of any of the villains,” Mientus told TheWrap. “He’s truly scary in some parts,...

The Flash is about to meet one of Harrison Wells’ prodigal sons: the super-intelligent Hartley Rathaway, aka the Pied Piper!
On tonight’s all-new episode, titled “The Sound and the Fury,” Hartley (played by Smash’s Andy Mientus) returns to Central City to seek revenge on his former mentor (Tom Cavanagh) after being affected by the particle accelerator explosion. A manipulator of sound waves, he just may be Dr. Wells and Barry Allen’s (Grant Gustin) toughest match yet.
Translating the Pied Piper from comic form to the small screen could have been a Herculean task, but emphasis on realism helped hone in on the character’s true essence.

Tonight on The Flash (The CW, 8/7c) — though under not the best of circumstances — Barry & Co. get a first look at Dr. Wells’ home, and we’ve got a sneak peek of that “sick” (as one visitor puts it) reveal.

Now able to manipulate sound waves and ultimately dubbed “The Pied Piper,” Rathaway does a number on Wells’ home, as seen in the clip above.

Tomorrow night’s episode of The Flash will welcome another infamous comic book villain to face off against the Scarlet Speedster: Hartley Rathaway, aka the Pied Piper (played by Broadway star Andy Mientus). From the recently released photos from the episode, titled “The Sound and the Fury,” it looks like Barry will certainly have his hands full when battling his newest foe; however, if this new, just-released clip is any indication, it may be the emotional blows that Rathaway delivers to Barry that are the most dangerous, as he teases him with a secret that he knows about his former mentor Harrison Wells. While we, the audience, all know that Wells is hiding his true identity, Reverse-Flash, Barry, at least this moment, has no idea that his friend (as we heard him call Wells in last week’s episode) is actually his nemesis. Will Rathaway be able to give Barry some new information…...

The Flash‘s first episode of 2015 was titled “Revenge of the Rogues,” but in this Tuesday’s episode, “The Sound and the Fury,” it’s not Barry who the Pied Piper (Broadway star Andy Mientus) is trying to get revenge on—it’s Dr. Wells. As the photos from Tuesday’s The Flash show us, Barry will end up battling with the Pied Piper (aka Hartley Rathaway), who is described as Wells’ “former protégée,” seeking vengeance on his mentor for what the particle accelerator explosion did to him. Elsewhere in the episode, Iris lands herself a new, exciting job, Cisco reflects on his past at S.T.A.R. Labs (which means that we’re most likely getting flashbacks to him and Caitlin before they were the best of friends), and Joe seeks Eddie’s help with something that he needs to keep hidden from Barry.
